Security: XSS issue Google.

Reported by gpruijss...@gmail.com, Mar 28 2017

Issue description

Hello,

I've discovered an XSS vulnerability. This is currently led to a nulledsoftware website as I've managed to stumble upon this. Please look into this!

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&url=%68%74%74%70%3A%2F%2F%6E%75%6C%6C%65%64%73%6F%66%74%2E%72%75&usg=AFQjCNE2LEKxJ2KAF7OgetzkY1_7T9cb_Q&id=edevcimot



 
I've also attempted this with a different URL but failed to reproduce this. I have not created this XSS exploit myself, I stumbled upon. The URL is encoded although it still lets google direct directly to it without the warning message.
What leads you to believe this is an XSS issue? It appears to be simply a redirection through Google.com, where the redirect URL is %-encoded (HTTP becomes %68%74%74%70 etc)?

This wouldn't represent a security bug in Chrome, and Google.com does not consider open redirects a security bug: https://sites.google.com/site/bughunteruniversity/nonvuln/open-redirect
